Reach the Beach is a 106-mile bike ride from Sauvie Island to the Oregon coast, running through the scenic Clatsop State Forest. 

On this week’s episode of the Peak Northwest podcast, we talk to @vickieconnor, a visual journalist with The Oregonian/OregonLive, about her experience participating in the ride. 

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

• How Vickie got involved with Reach the Beach.
• Why the ride is definitely hard, but not necessarily in the way that Vickie thought.
• The best part of the day? It might have been the salmon hash.
• Reach the Beach is just one of many cycling challenges in Oregon.
